This website started out as an attempt to list and categorise all known Roman Provincial coin bearing the image of Diadumenian. Over the years this goal
has changed and it has become an online repository of my different collections. I have sold off most of my Diadumenian collection (I still have some) so I have
changed the references to "Ex collection" where appropriate. As of August 2026 I am reworking this front site to be more modern (upgrading to HTML5)
but all of the other sections should already be in the more modern format.
This first page is therefore a work in progress but should be completed within a month or so. I also made the decision to have all the images on the one page rather than
many subdirectories requiring clicking - the internet speeds are now enough to cope with this.
While most reference works examining the output of Roman provincial coinage usually consider the mint as the axis around which other factors turn,
that was not an approach which appealed to me, as my interest lay in examining the iconography of Diadumenian across the Roman-influenced world.
Published works are, of course, invaluable and where appropriate have been referenced, but these references are disparate and it is expensive to obtain a
complete listing for Diadumenian from current sources as there are often only a few relevant coins in each publication. Therefore, within this site,
I have given previous published references where possible. Increasingly, reference material is available online and freely accessible and these sources have
also been used extensively. Quality control with online sources can be an issue, but with care and attention a great deal of information can be gleaned there.
There are no silver coins in the collection, but these have been covered thanks to Michel Prieur,
who has allowed me to include examples from his database.
Since I created this site the Roman Provincial Coinage site has come online which is an amazing
resource by hosted the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford and published by the British Museum Press and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France
I have linked to the many coins referenced there and would encourage everyone to visit that site and make use of it.
I've also linked to the Numista site, another great resource, however there all Diadumenian's coins are listed under Macrinus so care must be taken
when searching for them.
I have not attempted to place values on any of the coins as there are freely available online sources which will give better and more current guidance
in this area. Generally speaking, good quality examples from the non-Moesia Inferior or Thracian Provinces are scarce or rare, and values would be
comparable to other similar scarce coins of those mints.
It should be obvious, but I will reiterate that nothing is for sale. I think I have permission to use all the pictures which are not my own, but if I have overlooked one please let me know.

Provinces and mints
Many regional mints issued coins bearing Diadumenian's portrait. The following list is an comprehensive one that covers every mint currently known (to me) to have issued such coins. The vast majority of these are bronze, though the eastern province of Syria issued a large volume of silver. There are undoubtedly other examples from these mints that I am unaware of so if you know of any (particularly if you have a picture) please let me know.
It can be difficult, particularly for the Moesia Inferior mints, to quantify what exactly is a 'type'.
There are sometimes subtle differences in the design of the reverse that some may class as varients, others may class as a different type.
Here, for example, for Marcianopolis 5 assaria issues I have divided the obverse types into three, Macrinus - Diadumenian busts; Macrinus -
Diadumenian heads; and Diadumenian - Macrinus heads. When cataloguing these coins by reverse I have tried to be reasonably consistent and
only used substantive differences to distinguish. It is possible, with all these coins, to become familiar with the actual dies used so a mere
die difference does not constituent a different type but is of interest none-the-less.
As of August 2007 the order in which the the issuing cities are displayed has been altered to reflect the forthcoming RPC
(Roman Provincial Coinage) publication. Special thanks to Michel Amandry for assistance with this.
Amphipolis - Originally founded in 437 BC by the Athenian general Hagnon on the site of an earlier settlement known as
Ennea Hodoi ("Nine Ways"), the city was named Amphipolis (meaning "city surrounded by a river") because the Strymon River wrapped around
both sides of the urban plateau, creating a naturally fortified defensive loop. At the start of teh 3rd century the population was a few tens of thousands.
The site is today near the modern village of Amfipoli in northern Greece.

Cassandrea - This city was established as a Roman colony (Colonia Iulia Augusta Cassandrensis) so the legend's will be in Latin rather than in Greek
It originally began as the ancient Greek city of Potidaea (founded around 600 BC by Corinthian colonists).
However, the settlement was completely destroyed by Cassander, the King of Macedon, in 316 BC. Around 316–315 BC, Cassander refound and
vastly expanded the city on the same isthmus, naming the new, grand urban center Cassandrea after himself.
Centuries later, Julius Caesar and Augustus re-established it as a Roman veteran colony, adding imperial titles to its name.
Today is it near the modern town
of Kassandreia (formerly Valta).

Macedonia – Thessalonika
Thessalonika - The city was founded around 315 BC by Cassander of Macedon, who consolidated several smaller surrounding settlements
in the Thermaic Gulf. Cassander named the new grand urban center Thessalonike in honor of his wife—who was the half-sister of
Alexander the Great and daughter of Philip II. According to ancient tradition, Philip named her Thessalonike ("Victory in Thessaly")
to commemorate a military victory on the day he learned of her birth. It was a major city at the time of diadumenianwith a population likely near 100,000 people.
Today, Thessaloniki is Greece's second-largest city.

Thrace – Byzantium
Byzantium - Byzantium served as the gateway from east to west. Originally established around 667 BC as a Greek colony by Dorian
settlers from Megara, the city was named Byzantium (Ancient Greek: Byzántion) after its legendary leader and founder, King Byzas.
According to myth, Byzas was guided by the oracle of Delphi to build his city "opposite the land of the blind"—referring to the
Chalcedonians across the Bosporus, who had previously missed the superior strategic advantages of the European side.
Centuries later, the site would be vastly expanded by Constantine the Great and renamed Constantinople.
The ancient city of Byzantium lies directly beneath the historic heart of modern Istanbul, Turkey,
specifically concentrated around the Seraglio Point, the ancient acropolis (where Topkapi Palace now stands),
and the surrounding Eminönü district.

Deultum - Originally a native Thracian settlement situated on the shores of Lake Mandra, the site was transformed into a
Roman veteran colony around 70 AD by Emperor Vespasian for discharged veterans of the Legio VIII Augusta.
The name Deultum (also spelled Deultus) is Latinized from its earlier Thracian name, generally linked to its
strategic position near marshlands and water channels (derived from roots meaning "two lakes" or related to water flow).
Deultum was located near the modern village of Debelt in southeastern Bulgaria where it is an archaeological reserve

Moseia Inferior – Marcianopolis – 1 Assarion
Marcianopolis - Originally a smaller Thracian settlement known as Pipizus, the city was refounded and significantly elevated in status
around 106 AD by the Roman Emperor Trajan. He named the grand urban center Marcianopolis in honor of his sister, Ulpia Marciana.
It later grew to become one of the premier administrative and cultural capitals of the Roman province of Moesia Inferior. The output
of coins for Macrinus and Diadumenian was prodigeous consitering the short length of rule.
The ancient site of Marcianopolis lies directly beneath and adjacent to the modern town of Devnya in northeastern Bulgaria,
roughly 30 kilometers west of Varna.

Nicomedia - The city was founded around 264 BC by King Nicomedes I of Bithynia, who consolidated several smaller neighboring
settlements (including the ancient Greek colony of Astacus) and named the new grand capital Nicomedia after himself. Strategically
located at the head of the Astacian Gulf, it quickly grew to become one of the wealthiest and most influential royal and administrative
capitals in the Hellenistic and Roman East. Estimates put the city at around 60-80 thousand inhabitants.
It survives today as the bustling industrial and modern city of İzmit, located in northwestern Turkey along the Gulf of İzmit

Bithynia-Pontus-Paphlagonia – Prusa ad Hypium
Prusa ad Hypium - Originally a native Bithynian settlement known as Cieros, the city was conquered and refounded in the
Hellenistic period (and later integrated into the Kingdom of Bithynia) under the influence of King Prusias I of Bithynia,
who renamed it Prusa. To distinguish it from other cities with the same name (such as Prusa ad Olympum), the descriptor ad
Hypium was added, referencing its location near the Hypius River (modern Melen River) in the rugged hill country of northwestern Anatolia.
Prusa ad Hypium is located near the modern town of Konuralp where visitors can explore a remarkably intact Roman theater, city walls, aqueduct
remnants, and a monumental bridge

According to Greek mythology, the name is derived from the water nymph Sinope, a daughter of the river god Asopus,
who was carried off by Apollo to the site of the future city. It later served as the capital of the Kingdom of Pontus under
Mithridates VI before being reorganized as a Roman colony, hence the coins of Diadumenian bear the Latin script.
Sinope survives today as the modern Turkish port city of Sinop, located on the northernmost tip of the Turkish Black Sea coast.

Conventus of Adramyteum – Alexandria (Troas)
Alexandria (Troas) - Another coin issuing city using the Latin script. Originally founded around 310 BC by Antigonus I Monophthalmus
as a consolidation of smaller nearby settlements (initially called Antigonia Troas), the city was renamed Alexandria Troas by Lysimachus
in honor of Alexander the Great. The designation Troas was added to distinguish it from other cities named Alexandria and to anchor its
identity in the historic Troad region near the ruins of ancient Troy. Centuries later, it was re-established as a privileged Roman
colony by Augustus.
Today it is located near the modern coastal village of Dalyan in the Çanakkale province of northwestern Turkey.

Conventus of Adramyteum – Illium (Troy / Hamaxitus)
Illium (Troy / Hamaxitus)) - The site is famously rooted in Bronze Age history as the legendary citadel of Troy (Ilion in Greek).
After centuries of shifting habitation, abandonment, and the Hellenistic refoundation of Ilium Novum (New Ilium) by Lysimachus,
the city derived its name from the ancient epic tradition of Ilus, the mythical founder of the city and son of Tros. Because of its
legendary lineage, the Romans revered Ilium as their ancestral cradle, granting the city special tax exemptions, autonomy, and
imperial patronage under emperors like Augustus and Caracalla.
During the early 3rd century AD under Diadumenian, Ilium was a revered sanctuary city and regional administrative center.
While it no longer functioned as a massive commercial port, its status as a premier tourist and pilgrimage destination for Romans
seeking their cultural roots.
The archaeological site of ancient Ilium is located at Hisarlik, just outside the modern town of Tevfikiye in the Çanakkale
province of northwestern Turkey.

Aphrodisias - Originally an older settlement known as Lelegopolis and later Megalopolis, the city took the name Aphrodisias during the
Hellenistic period, deriving its identity entirely from its famous sanctuary dedicated to the Greek goddess of love,
Aphrodite. The city enjoyed a special autonomous status and a close relationship with Rome (partly due to the gens Iulia,
who claimed descent from Venus/Aphrodite), granting it exceptional privileges, tax immunities, and widespread reverence throughout the empire.
The population was modest - between 15,000 and 25,000 inhabitants, but it boasted luxurious civic amenities such as a massive stadium,
a grand theater, and elaborate bath complexes as well as a famous school of marble sculpture. Now located located near the modern village of Geyre.
Today, it is one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in the entire Mediterranean and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Unlike many ancient cities buried beneath modern towns, Aphrodisias sits in an open valley surrounded by pomegranate orchards and poplars.
Visitors can walk through the remarkably intact ancient stadium (one of the best-surviving in the ancient world),
the monumental Temple of Aphrodite, the Sebasteion and the Tetrapylon.

Today it is located near the modern town of Qalaat al-Madiq in northwestern Syria and is an impressive archaeological site.
Its most famous feature is the Great Colonnade—a staggering 2-kilometer-long (nearly 1.2 mile) avenue lined with soaring, uniquely twisted

According to ancient geographers like Strabo, the city's populace was remarkably cosmopolitan, originating from a fusion of

it became the administrative seat of a massive judicial district (conventus), overseeing dozens of surrounding communities.
The ancient site of Cibyra is located near the modern town of Gölhisar.
Today, it is a magnificent and impressively preserved archaeological site perched high on a hill overlooking the plain and the

It gained legendary renown in antiquity as one of the candidate birthplaces of Homer and for its formidable cavalry,
